Harris predictably struggled in his move to outside receiver with rookie Trey Quinn taking over in the slot. Assuming Jamison Crowder (ankle) misses another game, Quinn will be a preferred fantasy play over Harris in Week 12 Thanksgiving-only DFS lineups. Nov 18 - 5:54 PM

Maurice Harris caught all five of his targets for 52 yards in the Redskins' Week 10 win over the Bucs.

Harris led the Redskins in receiving on a day they needed no offense and Alex Smith threw for just 178 yards. For however long Jamison Crowder remains sidelined, Harris will be a decent WR3 in PPR leagues. The Texans are up next. Nov 11 - 4:43 PM

This was Harris' fifth game filling in for Jamison Crowder at slot receiver. He was held scoreless and below 50 yards in each of the previous four, then went off as Washington played Sunday's game from behind. Harris led the team in every receiving category. If Crowder sits again in Week 10, Harris will be on the WR3/flex radar at Tampa Bay, particularly in PPR leagues. Nov 4 - 5:12 PM

Maurice Harris secured all three of his targets for 22 yards in Washington's Week 7 win over Dallas.

It was the third consecutive game Harris has started, but he's done very little with the added opportunity. He has just 82 yards receiving over Washington's last three games. Oct 21 - 9:10 PM

The compound leg fracture occurred in the third quarter of Week 11's loss to Houston. Colt McCoy will close out the year as Washington's starting quarterback. Previously, McCoy and Smith were the only two signal callers on the Redskins' roster. Smith, who turns 35 next May, will have a long road back from this gruesome injury. It's fair to wonder whether he'll be ready for Week 1 in 2019.

Thompson didn't practice all week, putting his status for Thanksgiving against the Cowboys in jeopardy, too. With Samaje Perine (calf) ruled out, the Redskins will have only Adrian Peterson and Kapri Bibbs available in their backfield Sunday. It's likely the team promotes Byron Marshall from the practice squad just to have another body.

Perine is a healthy scratch. Adrian Peterson will draw the start at running back against his former team with Chris Thompson spelling him on passing downs. LB Zach Brown (oblique), LB Ryan Kerrigan (hip), QB Colt McCoy (thumb) and OT Trent Williams (knee) are all active for Sunday's opener.

Richardson needs surgery to repair an injured AC joint. Coach Jay Gruden's players were dropping like flies against the Falcons, but Richardson's issue is one he has been playing through all season. It ends a disappointing first Redskins campaign for the $40 million free agent. Richardson caught just 20 passes for 262 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. He's an extremely poor fit with Alex Smith's arch-conservative "skill-set." 2019 will be Richardson's age-27 season. Maurice Harris is now locked into three-receiver sets regardless of Jamison Crowder's (ankle) health.

There was some hope Williams (thumb) might return this week, but he couldn't get the green light by the end of the week. Dunbar is out with a leg injury. Crowder has a high ankle sprain. Thompson is dealing with cracked ribs.

The Redskins have also confirmed the season-long loss of RG Brandon Scherff (pectoral). They are catastrophic blows for an offense built around running the ball and hiding Alex Smith. That formula might now have to go out the window, which is extra bad since deep threat Paul Richardson (shoulder) has also been lost for the year. Stunningly injury prone, Lauvao will be a free agent at season's end. He turned 31 last month.

With LG Shawn Lauvao (torn ACL) also done for the year, the Redskins are going to have to dig deep on the interior. Tony Bergstrom will slide into one of the starting spots. The other is TBD. The No. 5 overall pick of the 2015 draft, Scherff has typically been solid but was having a down year, according to Pro Football Focus. He's under team control for one more season.

Christian was the No. 74 overall pick of the draft. Even with all the Redskins' offensive line injuries, Christian had yet to crack the starting lineup. He should be 100 percent healthy for next summer's training camp.

Dustin Hopkins (groin) is questionable for Week 11 against the Texans.

He was bothered by a groin injury early in the week but kicked without issue at Friday's practice, putting him on track to play Sunday against Houston. Hopkins has had a good season for the Redskins, converting 17 of his 19 field goal tries with a long of 56 yards.
